A man shot his brother-in-law through the heart with a silver bullet because he thought the man was a werewolf who had killed dozens of people - including his sister.
Thomas Masaryk has been charged with first-degree murder in the bizarre case, but he plans to plead innocent under a 500-year-old Transylvania law that says it’s not murder to kill a werewolf.
Masaryk doesn’t deny shooting Dumbrava Serghiescu, 42, on the lawn of his home on the outskirts of Satu Mare. In fact, he called on father Martin Batistei to witness the shooting that, he claims, took place just seconds after Serghiescu transformed himself in a werewolf.
Father Batistei told reporters, “It’s true. I heard the man threaten to kill Mr. Masaryk and saw him change before my eyes. Hair sprouted on his face and hands and fangs grew right out of his mouth. His eye glowed fiery red - and he began to grown and moan like a caged beast.”
Masaryk put a stop to the horrifying transformation with a single shot from a .38 caliber revolver. The bullet he used to kill Serghiescu had been made from a silver crucifix that reportedly had been blessed by the Pope.
